Final Exams: A relief for many students

Final exams took place last week in the western, Nippes and Southeastern departments, which were the areas most affected by the January 12th earthquake. The students were examined on Social science, French, Creole and math.

The national school in Fondwa served as a central location for about 300 students in the communal section. For many of the parents and students, it was like their prayers were answered because many fear they would lose the school year after the quake.

The parents applaud the efforts of the Minister of education for making it possible for the students of Fondwa to take the final exams. For many parents and students it is a relief to be taking the exams in Fondwa, which mean less stress and expenses if they had to go far to take the exams.

One of the students, Nathalie Saintine declared that the exams were not too difficult and many of the questions were materials that were covered in class. Even though, the situation is difficult throughout the country, but having not to waste a school year is of great significance for many.

I know worrying about finishing school was a big concern for my sister, who just completed her first year of college. Her high school collapsed in the quake, and she said that if she hadn't graduated when she did and her lessons were disrupted by the quake, she probably would not have had a way to graduate.
